Use additional code
The CDC tabular list says to add the code named here after this one when it applies.
From I63. A note on a category applies to every code under it.
Use additional code, if applicable, to identify status post administration of tPA (rtPA) in a different facility within the last 24 hours prior to admission to current facility (Z92.82)
Use additional code, if known, to indicate National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score (R29.7-)
Excludes1
Excludes1 means these codes are not reported together.
From I63. A note on a category applies to every code under it.
Excludes2
Excludes2 means the other condition can be reported with this one when both are documented.
From I63. A note on a category applies to every code under it.
